Thought some might be interested in watching this tonight. No CNN here, and I boycott that channel anyway.

Force Protection has experienced substantial corporate growth in the past 12 months.

Anyone catch the program? If so, does this "armored urban combat vehicle" seem promising? The press release I saw left me bored, as all press releases do.

The reason I even took the time to plug the upcoming report was a video going around the net now. Yeah, I get why they're driving like that.

I also get that it makes a bad impression. On the antiwar people here, and on those who want to support the fledging democracy until they come home with a "listen to this" story there.
